A parachutist  wants to design a parachute, such that a person weighing 150 lbs(667N) descends at a rate of 5.00 mph(2.23 m/s). To calculate the drag coefficient in kg/m, is the way to conceptualize the solution: 1. At terminal velocity the drag force equals the force of gravity. Since the net forces are zero, there is no acceleration and the velocity is constant.   2. The drag constant b is not 1. It comes from the terminal velocity equation: V_term  = square root(mg/b) If you know the weight mg and the terminal velocity, then you can solve for b.   Please help me to derive the solution by helping me to understand better.  I understand point 1.  But I don't understand clearly point 2?
